When the word cheese is mentioned, most of us immediately think of France. We can't help it; it's a knee-jerk reaction. As excellent as are the hundreds of cheeses that originate from all corners of the globe, France is always the first country that comes to mind when discussing cheese making.

Our French Cheese Assortment captures a good bit of French cheese culture with the four cheeses listed below.

Chevre by Couturier: This classic French goat cheese is quite fresh and spreadable. Formed in the shape of a log, enjoy this cheese on salads, as a snack, or with fruit for dessert. (4 oz)

Camembert: This famous soft-ripened cheese from Normandie has a creamy interior beneath a fluffy (and edible) white rind. Similar to Brie, but with a slightly fuller flavor. (8 oz)

Abbaye de Belloc: We're happy to bring you this raw sheep's milk cheese from the Pays Basque region of Aquitaine (French Pyrenees). Its milk comes from red-nosed Manech ewes raised on farms adjacent to the Abbaye de Notre Dame de Belloc. (7.5 oz)

Comté: Created by local villagers in alpine dairies called "Fruiteries", its milk comes only from Montbeliarde and Tachete de L'est cows. Each 70+ pound wheel of raw-milk Comté is aged for at least six months, resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece. (7.5 oz)

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

I bought this assortment as Father's day gift for my father in law. He loves french cheeses (the stinky the better for him) and he loved the present :-) The packaging it came it was very good, it is reusable for doing pick nicks in the future.

Nervous American buys French cheese

To my French wife, cheese is less of a food and more of a religion. I was nervous to buy her anything, but got lucky when I found the French cheese collection from igourmet.com. She says the cheese was excellent, so I am taking her word for it, and passing on the recommendation to you.

Every time I send this cheese to my sister in the US, she raves about it and tells me it is her favourite present of all. Ans she is a cheese lover so the cheese must be great.
